Mediterranean Landscape Re-Greening at the Expense of South American Agricultural Expansion

Land, 2021
The stabling of livestock farming implies changes in both local ecosystems (regeneration of forest stands via reduced grazing) and those located thousands of kilometers away (deforestation to produce grain for feeding livestock). Despite their importance,

Late Quaternary climate legacies in contemporary plant functional composition [PDF]

, 2018
The functional composition of plant communities is commonly thought to be determined by contemporary climate. However, if rates of climate‐driven immigration and/or exclusion of species are slow, then contemporary functional composition may be explained ...
